The edge D is notched to form a number of .points i to be used in pointing ofli. These points, while greatly facilitating the work, effectually prevent cutting -too deep, as is ofl;en the case'when using only one point, 7

as in the ordinary way.- Y r I The handle E is applied at the center, and is intended toibe of sufiicient length to admit of using the tool in the same manner that a carpenters adz is usedt F represents a' guard be attached to both sides.

Having thus described my invention,
